duffymahoney Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share #290 Posted December 10, 2018 So I believe the horns came with green zinc on them. Or maybe part had no coating? I decided on powder coating the fronts in black, the backside of them has some deep pitting and I would rather not zinc them. Plus I think gold zinc in the front will look goofy. Then inner parts you see gold zinc. Then back with all the electronics will just need to be media blasted and a nice 2 part paint. I can't figure out a good way to take it apart.

duffymahoney Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share #291 Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) I spent an hour taping off the horns to protect the electronics. I then media blasted them. Then took them to a auto paint shop. The rears are single stage 2 part black paint. The grills are powder coated bk06. Just like the rest of my z.

grannyknot Posted December 12, 2018 Share #292 Posted December 12, 2018 @duffymahoney, what are you using for the paper gaskets between the 2 parts of the horn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question. Either laser cut paper or gasket maker. I honestly don’t know yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffymahoney Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share #294 Posted December 12, 2018 I took the door strikers off to send out for zinc. No rust behind! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffymahoney Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share #295 Posted December 28, 2018 Door, hatch and horn parts are back from zinc. Also tons of nuts and screws. Zinc day is always the best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffymahoney Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share #296 Posted January 12, 2019 Horns are rebuilt. I used gasket maker instead of the paper seal. Now time to remove all the original tape from the front wiring harness and redo it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffymahoney Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share #297 Posted January 13, 2019 Original wiring harness sticker. This was up by the horns. Pretty neat to find after so many years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not restoring mine. But just making it nicer. Someday I might acid bath it and paint it right. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
